Guild Wars 2 Announces Halloween Event

ArenaNet is excited to make the first Halloween in its new MMO one to remember. Guild Wars 2 will kick off the Halloween celebrations Oct 23 with the Shadow of the Mad King event.

If you haven’t heard, Mad King Thorn has a reputation for spreading insanity throughout the lands of Tyria. Although he hasn’t been seen for 250 years, the ArenaNet team hinted that the King may return to cause some trouble for Guild Wars 2 players next week.

The event will run for a full week. The Halloween update will include a number of new features and content for players to explore during the week-long event. The celebration will include themed costumes and items to buy, as well as a Costume Brawl event.

Guild Wars 2 is available for PC and does not require a subscription fee.
